enCamoranesi urges Juventus to sign CavaniFormer Juventus man Mauro Camoranesi has urged the club to sign Edinson Cavani in order to help them compete with the rest of Europes elite.http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/camoranesi-urges-juve-sign-cavani
Cavani spent six and a half seasons in Serie A with Palermo and then Napoli, before a move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2013.
The Uruguay international has netted 18 goals in all competiitons for PSG this season, although there have been reports of a spat between the player and coach Laurent Blanc.
"Cavani is a world-class striker," Camoranesi toldTuttosport.
"Cavani and [Carlos] Tevez would be a fantastic strike partnership.
"Maybe he wouldn't be enough to ensure they [Juventus] won the Champions League, but he'd certainly help them make a leap forward in Europe.
"It's hard, there's so much competition in Europe. They still need a few years to be able to compete with the superpowers.
"It's important to show that you're a top club by getting great players on the transfer market, not average signings leaving you with five players you have to sell."

The Sweden star has endured a frustrating season through injury, though he has still plundered 17 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions.
PSG have also been inconsistent this season, a high number of draws preventing them from pulling away in the Ligue 1 title race.
The early part of their campaign was also overshadowed by rumours of a falling out between their star strikers, with claims the pair would not pass to each other highlighting supposed tensions.
Coach Laurent Blanc was also moved to challenge the duo to work as more of a partnership, but Raiola sees no issue in their relationship.
"Zlatan is only interested in one thing: winning with PSG," Raiola told RMC.
"There are no pro-Zlatan and pro-Cavani [camps] in the team. Today, Zlatan is still the leader of PSG. Everyone sees it.
"He respects Cavani and vice versa.
"Everything else, it does not exist, these are stories invented by the press.
"In a locker room, there is a natural hierarchy. From the information I have, the locker room at PSG is a great locker room."
Raiola also commented on his client's future, with Ibrahimovic's PSG contract set to expire at the end of next season.
Though Ibrahimovic will turn 34 later this year, Raiola sees no reason why he cannot go on at the top level for years to come.
The Italian added: "He is happy in Paris. He tries to do his best all the time. I think he's in great shape.
"Does it end at PSG? I do not know.
"He still has to work eight years. We reached an agreement. He worked 15 for him. Now he will work his last eight years for me.
"It means that his career will last eight years. I do not know if he will stay eight years at PSG. But he can play up to 42 or 43 years old."

Cavani was an estimated €65 million signing at the Parc des Princes in July 2013, adding to a stellar line-up including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Lucas Moura.
The former Napoli striker has often had to play second fiddle to Ibrahimovic, leading to regular talk he could leave,but coach Laurent Blanc remains steadfast in his belief that Cavani is as vital to PSG's system as the mercurial Swede.
And Cavaniis delighted to contribute to the Parisians, whether with his goals or overall performances.
"I've always said I'm very happy being here," he told Perform.
"It's a club that is growing, has a very nice and attractive project and it always makes you happy to be part of this project.
"Sincerely, like I said it many times, one thing that fills me with pleasure is to end a match and go to sleep peacefully knowing I contributed with my best for the team.
"Many times you can't score goals, and a very important thing is knowing that you gave the best for your team-mates and that you had the intention to make things happened the best way.
"Today I'm great here in Paris, I'm happy, my family is well and every time they come they enjoy.
"We have a great team, like I said there's a nice project backing the club and I'm beginning my way in Paris.
"I want to give them the best, I hope I can give the best to this club and repay the confidence the president placed on me when he signed me in.
"The same confidence the coach gives me and also my team-mates."

The Uruguay international has come in for criticism in recent weeks, and has netted just twice in his past 10 Ligue 1 appearances.
There have been recentreports of a spat between Blanc and the player, but the former France bosshas come out in support of his forward.
"We have to maintain our trust in him. I am sure he will score goals, even when it seems a little complicated," Blancsaid.
"I'm sure it's a guy who will score goals. He is in a difficult period. Let's help him. Also help the team.
"We must also think about the team. We must allow this individual reflection for Ediand collectively for the team."
PSG host Nantes in the last 16 of the Coupe de France on Wednesday, and Blanc hopes his squad can cope with a busy schedule as they maintain their search for success on fourfronts.
"It's not very difficult to have the motivation to win matches," he added."If we do not, the players need to change profession. And the coach too. What is difficult is accumulation of matches.
"The recovery is complicated. Even if we win, sometimes we do not have the means to do so. I think, as you said, PSG has a large squad, quality squad. For now, we played four competitions with happiness. We are still qualified in each.
"We will try to stay in the race until the last moment. I hope the squad will go well, there will be no injuries. I hope we will not have too many suspensions.
"Because if it is, in fact, there will be choices to do. For now, despite a busy February, a busy January, we try to play games to earn them. Whatever the team on the pitch."

Ibrahimovic and Cavani have failed to recapture the same sort of form that saw PSG defend their Ligue 1 title, with the pair managing just 17 goals between them.
Cavani was also forced to deny rumours of a rift with Ibrahimovic recently following a report published by French newspaper L'Equipe.
Speaking ahead of PSG's clash with Rennes on Friday, Blanc quickly dispelled talk of tension between the two international men.
"Both need to improve, Ibra [Ibrahimovic] and Cavani, because they can play together. They have to look for each other more on the pitch," said Blanc.
"I was sure that after the game in Saint-Etienne, the little discussion at the half-time between Ibra and Cavani will make you speak.
"Everything is over, they are the best friends in the world, they will go together on holidays. That's crazy what you can take from some footage."
Blanc added: "We can understand the way it works for them using the statistics.
"If you look at the last year by example, with Cavani playing on the right or left. They scored a lot of goals, as simple as that.
"No-one got any prejudice on the pitch because the other was there on the same time. I think that the way they play can be complementary."

Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has urged Edinson Cavani and Laurent Blanc to bounce back and put their three-game omissionbehind them in the second half of the season.
The South American duo were left out of the last threematches by Blanc after missing PSG's mid-season training camp in Morocco and then reporting late to their first session on French soil.
PSG beat Montpellier in the Coupe de France and Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de la Ligue despite their absence, but lost 4-2 atBastia in the league last Saturday.
Blanc confirmed that the pair are available for selection for Sunday's visit of Evian and has called on them to display their quality after drawing the ire of the PSG hierarchy.
"Nothing is forgotten," Blanc said. "They are two important players, we did what we had to do.
"They must accept their stupidity. Now I rely on them to make a great second half of the season."
The capital club are winless in their last three league games and sit four points adrift of leaders Lyon in fourth place.
Despite their disappointing recent form, Blanc believes that the return to full fitness of Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will help PSG turn things around.
"They [Silva and Ibrahimovic] have never been so fit, I think that's why there is hope and determination," he added.
"These are the leaders who lead the team to the highest level.
"When your leaders are in this configuration, you know you can count on them."

The South American duo missed PSG's mid-season training camp in Morocco and were reported to have returned late to their first session back on French soil.
Both Cavani and Lavezzi have been linked with moves away from the French capital club, who visit Montpellier in the Coupe de France on Monday.
And PSG have been quick to sanction the pair, forcing them to train separately from the rest of the squad and sit out the cup clashat the Stade de la Mosson andSaturday'sLigue 1 trip toBastia.
"Lavezzi and Cavani will train away from the group until Saturday and will not participate in the next two games," Blanc said.
"It is unacceptable. When one puts his personal project above the collective I can become a bit radical."
However, Blanc was coy on the subject of prospective exits for Cavani and Lavezzi, while stressing his desire to keep hold of midfielder Adrien Rabiot -who is reported to be close to joining Tottenham on loan.
"There may be movement. Purchases, loans, sales, but it's a bit too early to talk about," Blanc added.
"I want to keep Rabiot. He re-signed, he is part of the future. But it is a very complicated issue."

On Wednesday night, Paris Saint-Germain take on Barcelona at the Camp Nou as they fight for the right to top UEFA Champions League Group F. Back in September, the Parisians managed to win the first game 3-2 –all without talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swede is back for the final group game and will play a huge part in the result, but looking forward, now is the time for PSG to bid farewell if they're to move to the next level.
It may sound like madness to consider letting go a player who has scored 43 goals in the Champions League and 64 goals in 76 Ligue 1 matches, yet sometimes, no matter how great a player is on the field, his presence can sometimes push others into the shadows.
The Champions League is one trophy that Ibrahimovic hasn’t won, and it remains the ultimate target for PSG and their Qatari owners too. It made perfect sense when they paid around €35 million to bring the burley Swede to the French capital, but without a huge slice of fortune, PSG are still a few years off that goal and Ibra isn’t getting any younger.
Zlatan the catalyst
When PSG became Europe’s nouveau riche club, it ushered in a new era of spending at the Parc des Princes. Just like when Manchester City bought Brazilian Robinho from Real Madrid, it was Javier Pastore who became the club’s marquee signing. PSG spent €42 million to bring the Argentine to Ligue 1, but after an encouraging debut season, hasn’t reached the levels expected from the initial outlay.
The following season, PSG upped the ante, bringing in Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva from Milan. This took the spotlight away from Pastore but also nudged the capital club to new heights. It wasn’t just on the pitch that they improved: from a commercial point of view they were now closer to the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United and Barcelona.
PSG won their first Ligue 1 title since 1994 with Ibra Co., but that only increased expectations. The title was now expected, not a goal. PSG’s success would now be measured by how they performed in the Champions League.
Yet in the last two seasons, against Barcelona and Chelsea respectively, PSG have fallen at the quarter-final stage. The first year they had Ibrahimovic in the line-up, but lacked the firepower to help the Swede carry the burden of taking on the Spanish giants. Edinson Cavani joined in the summer of 2013, but with Zlatan injured for the second leg away at Stamford Bridge, coach Laurent Blanc couldn’t call upon the services of both his star forwards.
That defeat to Chelsea was as much to do with luck as it was with being an inferior team. They took a 3-1 lead to London, but two second-half Chelsea goals after sustained Blues pressure saw PSG eliminated from the competition. For any top club, the last eight is a bare minimum. To go further you need the draw and some luck in your favour.
The overshadowed others
This season, PSG have been given a wake-up call. Ibrahimovic has suffered recently from a heel injury, which at first was meant to keep him out for a couple of weeks, but he ended up missing 10 league games and three of their five Champions League group games.
Instead of wallowing and fading into the background, however, his team-mates rose to the occasion in Zlatan's absence.
Against Barcelona, Cavani had looked like a striker lacking confidence, and there were worries he wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure. But the Uruguayan's goal and sending-off (for his 'hunter' celebration) in the league game against RC Lens seemed to spark a resurgence. Cavani would return from suspension and, including the goal against Lens, net seven goals in 10 games in all competitions.
Finally, the confidence he'd shown for Napoli was shining through in his PSG performances –and he wasn’t the only one. Without Ibrahimovic dropping deep, there was more space in midfield for Pastore and Lucas Moura to drift and express themselvers. There is no doubt that without the need to play in Zlatan’s shadow, both South Americans blossomed and were key players in PSG’s success.
Manager Blanc even adapted the side, playing 4-3-1-2 instead of 4-3-3, and all three players immediately looked more comfortable in the new-look system.
Ibrahimovic made his return against Ajax in the Champions League, scoring in the 3-1 win. He netted the only goal of the game as PSG beat Nice 1-0, and his brace helped them come back from 1-0 down to beat Nantes 2-1. What has also been noticeable, however, is the lack of goals from Cavani and the missing creativity from both Lucas and Pastore.
Against Barcelona on Wednesday, PSG will be up against a Lionel Messi in sensational form, but what is clear is that the Argentine superstar plays for the team and not himself. Barcelona wouldn’t be as dangerous without the 27-year-old, but he also lets other players blossom – as Neymar's improvements this season would suggest.
Adjö, Ibra?
If PSG are to move up to the same level Barcelona have occupied for the last 10 years, they need superstars who are part of the team, not bigger than it.
Recently, Ibrahimovic declared that he would likely hang up his boots by the end of the 2015/16 season, giving him two more attempts at winning the Champions League with PSG. His agent Mino Raiola suggested that the Swede could play until 2018. Many say PSG would be mad to not take up the opportunity of four more years with Ibra as their leader.
But the striker is 33 years old, and it is hard to imagine him at 35 pushing PSG higher than they are now. Simply, the French champions are in a catch-22 situation: without him they are unlikely Champions League contenders. But to grow as a club they need to say goodbye. With the like of Liverpool and Arsenal both linked with the Swede in the summer, there should be no shortage of takers.
PSG should be grateful to Ibrahimovic for the role he has played at the club in recent years, but nothing lasts forever. To realise the full potential this club now has as a European superpower, they must do it without their talisman in a new era.

The French champions defeated Ajax 3-1 on Tuesday to set up a Group F decider with Barca in a fortnight's time.
A more favourable draw will likely greet the group winners in the last 16, but Cavani believes overtaking Marseille at the top of Ligue 1 must now take priority.
"There is plenty of time untilthe match in Barcelona, so we need to focus on Ligue 1, which is a big goal for us too," he said."When the match against Barcelona arrives, we will look for an important victory for us.
"The most important thing was the victory and we are just at one step away fromgoing through as group winners.
"We have to be focused on Ligue 1 [for now]."

Cavani struck twice as PSG maintained their position at the summit of the pool with one game remaining.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic volleyed home the other goal, his 78th-minute strike coming after Davy Klaassen had cancelled out Cavani's opener.
That result left PSG a point ahead of their final opponents Barcelona, setting up a mouth-watering matchday six clash atCamp Nou.
The French champions, unbeaten in their last 21 outings across all competitions, should enter the clash brimming with confidence, especially having overcome Barca 3-2at the Parc des Princes.
Cavani said: "We had to win. We must finish first.The [final group match against Barcelona] will be like a final.
"Nothing is easy unless we can replicate the game we produced in the first match."
Head coach Laurent Blanc concurred with his star striker's assessment of their scenario and also praised the team's commitment to pull through in a contest in which they were regularly put under pressure.
He added: "When the group was drawn, the favourite was Barcelona. We will have our destiny in our own hands, but Barcelona will be the favourite as the home side.
"You need to know suffering in a season.
"We are not always in the best form, just like everyone else. It's good to win when you are suffering.
"We do not have all our resources at this time and the statistics were not in our favour - maybe we will become a counter-attacking team!
"To take three points from this great Ajax team was very positive."

The Uruguay international arrived in the French capital from Napoli in 2013, but grew frustrated with being played out of position by Laurent Blanc last season.
Cavani, who has started 10 of11 Ligue 1 fixtures this term,has since insisted he is happy to remain at PSG, but concedes a Parc des Princes exit is not out of the question.
"I do not know what is going to happen, nobody else can tell," he told La Parisien. "But I have a contract and the most important thing is that I am here today and that we win titles with Paris."
Cavani was linked with a move to England during the close season, with Arsenal among the clubs rumoured to be interested, but the 27-year-old has written off those stories as baseless speculation.
"I do not think I made ​​a declaration in that sense or even that the President (Nasser) Al-Khelaifi did," he added."All of this is just rumourswhich appear in football.
"Like when I went to Napolior PSG. Each time, a lot of things are said."

Despite being a regular starter for the French champions this season, scoring four goals in 10 Ligue 1 appearances, Cavani has been singled out for negative attention in some quarters.
And, while conceding some of the comments have been unpleasant, Cavani has vowed to give his all to turn things around.
"A footballer must be prepared to be welcomed when all is well and to receive criticism when things are not working out," he told LeParisien. "Of course, it is not easy nor pleasant to hear negative things about you.
"I take my responsibility and I do everything to resolvethe situation.
"Whether these criticisms are fair or not, the only solution is to work."
PSG currently sit second in the French top flight, four points adrift of leaders Marseille.

Maxwell scored the second goal of the champions' come-from-behind win in their 'away' fixture at the Stade de France in Paris - with Lens forced to relocate several matches due to construction works at their Stade Felix-Bollaert.
Uruguayan striker Cavani was pulled down in the box to earn PSG a penalty but, after he converted it for a two-goal buffer, the capital club's luck ran out.
Jean Gbamin was given a second yellow for dragging down Cavani but Laurent Blanc's men were also down to 10 when Cavani was inexplicably yellow carded for simulating shooting a sniper before his complaints at the aforementioned yellow led to his dismissal by referee Nicolas Rainville.
Maxwell said it was an undeserved sanctioned for Cavani, who had just scored his first goal in almost a month.
"Edinson Cavani was disappointed with the red card. I do not think he deserves to be sent off. He's scored - he could have done even more," the Brazilian full-back said.
"I think everybody saw what happened and there is no point commenting."
Maxwell said he was happy with his long-range goal, the defender scoring into a vacant net from distance after Lens goalkeeper Rudy Riou was drawn well off his line.
"I really enjoyed my goal tonight, I thought it was a great team goal," he said.
"The ball came to me very quickly. I just tried to control the ball and saw that I could shoot.
"My right foot is not the best usually but sometimes it can work well.
"That's an important goal for the team. We are especially pleased with the victory and a vital three points."
Another Brazilian - Lucas Moura - said the PSG squad was disappointed for Cavani, who has been linked with Premier League heavyweights Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.
"I think it is very difficult for Edinson Cavani with the red card tonight after he scored," the PSG winger said.
"The decision is difficult for the entire squad. We did not understand what happened.
"Now we have to forget this game and think about the [UEFA] Champions League match with APOEL in midweek."

Cavani has been linked with Premier League clubs Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, after reportedly being no longer keen to remain at the Ligue 1 powerhouses.
But Qatari businessman Al-Khelaifi outwardly backed his striker, claiming the former Napoli man belonged in Paris.
"PSG is Cavani's home," Al-Khelaifi said.
"Edinson remains an excellent and great professional.
"He gives 100 per cent; you just have to look at his attitude on the pitch. He runs and defends like crazy.
"He's a real fighter who is ready to die for PSG.
"He's incredibly generous with his efforts and always works hard for the team, without thinking about his himself or his personal statistics."
Al-Khelaifi said Cavani was a player of high integrity, and that he supported him to stay with the French champions.
"I support him totally, as I do all my players," he added.
"Edinson Cavani fans love him too, as they know he's a player who never cheats or shirks.
"He repays their faith with his total commitment to the club."
PSG captain Thiago Silva also threw his weight behind the campaign to keep Cavani happy, hailing the front man.
"Edi always makes huge sacrifices for the team," the Brazil international said.
"He runs a lot and he is prepared to give everything for his side."
Cavani will lead the line for PSG when they travel to Lens on Friday.

Monaco sharpshooter Radamel Falcao and disgruntled Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani have both been linked to Liverpool, who are on the lookout for a replacement for Luis Suarez.
New recruit Rickie Lambert and Daniel Sturridge are the only two recognised strikers at Anfield and the Liverpool boss said he is determined to land a leading marksman, even if it means deadline-day madness on September.
"The money is there - and we will look to improve at the top end of the field until the very end of the window," Rodgers told reporters ahead of Sunday's Premier League opener against Southampton at Anfield.
"It's not easy to get a top level striker, no. But we have to keep looking. We certainly need something, because we haven't brought in another striker so far, apart from Rickie Lambert.
"You just never know what will happen in that last week - the window will always throw up something.
"We will persevere, and the boys are working hard behind the scenes to see what information we can get on the availability of players."
Liverpool also secured the services of young striker Divock Origi but the Belgium international will remain on loan at Lille for the 2014-15 season.
